Attaching and wiring LED Bar to ROPS (and work light)

[Mike OMelia]

I have a new '24 L3560. Ordered a 32" lightbar for the ROPS. Includes wiring harness etc. And a rear facing worklight.

Problem is, no obvious place to attach (predrilled holes). No power point access in the rear. Instructions want direct access to battery (in the front) which does not leave enough wire to reach the rear. Anybody done this before?

If you run wires to battery be sure to run in conduit, have a fuse at battery !

Understood. There is an inline fuse with the kit. I'll get conduit. Was hoping for a power source in the rear.

There “should” be a fused work light pigtail on one of the rear fenders.

Lifted seat, found a gray connector, no idea for what, found three white connectors. Thoughts?

Gray one has the other side stuck in it. That may be it. Get out the volt meter and start poking. Fuse should be labeled in box as work light.

Ok, I'll probe all four tomorrow. Regardless, I'll need kubota branded connectors to make it all work. I think. Will put this off till next week. Good news is I found four potential fused wires that look like they are meant for auxiliary items!

Having the wiring diagram from the WSM would be a pretty good idea......

OK, just saw what you were saying, found the part, how do I use it? has these rubber things in way. I moved one.

Hard to tell from the photo what connector that is. Personally, I cut off the factory connector and added my own plugs with a kit from these guys. Some kits come with all the tools you need.

I don’t think that can be used, more of a dummy plug to keep stuff out. I could be wrong though. Like evil said, chop that end off, if it is the work light circuit and install a connector of your choice.

I believe that gray one is for the seat tilt switch that is omitted from the LE tractor. The white connectors are the ones you want.

An extension cord is a great way to run to the nck of the tractor that is cheap and also gives the wiring some protection. And magnetic mounts work great for mounting lights.
